A transgender girl accused of assaulting two students at a Texas high school alleges that she was being bullied and was merely fighting back

Shocking video shows a student identified by police as Travez Perry violently punching, kicking and stomping on a girl in the hallway of Tomball High School.

The female student was transported to the hospital along with a male student, whom Perry allegedly kicked in the face and knocked unconscious.

According to the police report, Perry - who goes by 'Millie' - told officers that the victim has been bullying her and had posted a photo of her on social media with a negative comment.

One Tomball High School parent whose daughter knows Perry said that the 18-year-old had been the target of a death threat.

'From what my daughter has said that the girl that was the bully had posted a picture of Millie saying people like this should die,' the mother, who asked not to be identified by name, told DailyMail.com.

When Perry appeared in court on assault charges, her attorney told a judge that the teen has been undergoing a difficult transition from male to female and that: 'There's more to this story than meets the eye.'

Perry is currently out on bond, according to authorities.

The video of the altercation sparked a widespread debate on social media as some claim Perry was justified in standing up to her alleged bullies and others condemn her use of violence.

The mother who spoke with DailyMail.com has been one of Millie's most ardent defenders on Facebook.

'I do not condone violence at all. But situations like this show that people now a days, not just kids, think they can post what they want. Or say what they want without thinking of who they are hurting,' she said.

'Nobody knows what Millie has gone through, and this could have just been a final straw for her. That is all speculation of course because I don't personally know her or her family, but as a parent and someone who is part of the LGBTQ community this girl needs help and support, not grown men online talking about her private parts and shaming and mocking her.'

One Facebook commenter summed up the views of many, writing: 'This was brutal, and severe! I was bullied for years and never attacked anyone!'

Multiple commenters rejected the gender transition defense and classified the attack as a male senselessly beating a female.

One woman wrote on Facebook: 'This person will get off because they're transitioning. This is an animal. She kicked, and stomped, and beat...not okay. Bullying is not acceptable, but kicking someone in the head. Punishment doesn't fit the crime.'

I've been arguing about slippery slope with my boyfriend for awhile, and it seems that it's a fallacy when you can't demonstrate the means by which the bottom of the slope (crazy thing you're arguing might happen) can be reached. But it doesn't really work well either, because going from "two consenting adults can marry" to "anyone can marry anything" does sound like a leap. However, we all see that's sort of happening. So I rely on demonstrating examples where it has happened in the past.

There isn’t much of a slippery slope, adults marrying children is very much legal in many states. Horrible shit like 10 year olds marrying 30 year olds as recently as a decade ago. States where adults can marry underage kids are beginning to bring the age up to like 16 now.

Yeah, but that existed before gay marriage and was more for religious reasons. So it doesn't show how gay marriage is a slippery slope, if anything it shows the opposite, that it goes away as people become accepting of gay marriage.

I meant more like examples where somebody said something was a slippery slope, people said it wasn't, and then later the slippery slope argument came true.

Tilloy-lez-Marchiennes (France) (AFP) - France's first transgender mayor has vowed to wake up her village in northern France after taking office at the weekend in a step hailed by activists as a breakthrough.
Marie Cau vowed to develop social and environmental policies in the village of Tilloy-lez-Marchiennes after receiving her honorary sash of office.
View attachment 1319842
Cau won a decisive first round victory in France's local elections on March 15, as her "Deciding Together" manifesto garnered the majority of the total votes in the 550-strong village, located close to the Belgian border.
The 50-year-old's inauguration took place over two months after the election -- instead of the normal five days -- as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
"I'm not at all surprised by the result," said Cau, who has a steady blue gaze.
An engineer, she described herself as first and foremost working like a company boss, with a passion for agriculture and the environment.
- 'Not because I'm transgender' -
The new mayor says the town's residents voted for her because they identify with her desire to develop sustainable agriculture and the local economy, as well as preserve the environment.
"The villagers didn't vote for or against me because I'm transgender. They voted for a programme and values. Social ties have disappeared, people want change," Cau said.
"My dream is to build an exemplary village, to demonstrate that normal citizens can do things that the government can't," she said.
"Congratulations, we wish you good luck!" said a 50-year-old villager in front of the small brick town hall.
The newly-elected mayor will take office in challenging times due to the pandemic.
But she will have a dream team by her side, she said, which has a great diversity of age, origin and gender.
Cau's gender doesn't matter to villager Herve Fontanel. "She has been living here for 20 years, we know how she works. If she manages to create ties, so much the better for Tilloy!"
His neighbour, Marie-Josee Godefroy, agreed. "The village will be revived and spoken of more," she said.
- Trans visibility-
Marie Cau is known by her third middle name. In the 15 years since her transition, she says she has never been the victim of discrimination. "It's rare. People are considerate, despite a couple of blunders," she said.
"She didn't have any taboos, she spoke about herself to people who asked questions to end the conversation there," said her partner and town councillor Nathalie Leconte.
"I'm surprised by the huge media attention given to her election," Leconte added.
Cau said "it's surprising that it's surprising".
"This situation should be normal, since people vote for a team and a project," the mayor said, adding that she is impatiently waiting for the day when the election of a transgender person is a non-event.
But Cau recognises the importance of her election. "It shows that transgender people can have a normal social and political life," she said.
France's gender equality minister Marlene Schiappa congratulated the freshly appointed mayor.
"The visibility of trans people and the struggle against transphobia also takes place through the exercise of public and political responsibilities. Congratulations to Marie Cau!" Schiappa tweeted Sunday.
Co-president of SOS Homophobie Veronique Godet said that Cau's election is a landmark in the history of trans people and French politics.
"We can see today that many trans people are in a process of emancipation and are beginning to occupy public spaces from which they were previously excluded," added Giovanna Rincon, the head of the transgender rights' group Acceptess-T.
Rincon hopes that these kind of events will increase in frequency, "until the election of a transgender mayor of a big city such as Paris."

Erh unfortunate appearence aside seems like an actual transgender and not some twitter troon; despite the twitter troons firing up the identity train

Expect her to be cancelled for such crimes as having an actual job, or not wanting to gas yt cishets

So I rely on demonstrating examples where it has happened in the past.

Regarding gender and sex, I believe the genderspecial crew keep these terms confusing and interchangeable on purpose. They're perfectly fine with everyone confusing the two when it benefits them. But as you can see with JK, any time someone confuses them in a negative way, they pull back and ree "it's not OUR fault you're confused! No one is erasing sex!"
Since the JK thing I've noticed more people trying to argue for trans rights that don't even know the difference between sex and gender. That's a feature, not a bug.

I don't know if this counts as part of the slippery slope with regards to genderfluid bullshit, but Utah recently decriminalized polygamy. They did it for the same reasons that are usually cited in favour of legalizing drugs: that anyone will do it, and decriminalizing it will enable help for those who would otherwise not seek help for fear of criminal penalty. Of course, polygamy is pretty much only ever practiced, in North America at least, involving a man taking multiple wives, usually while they're under the age of majority which the bill doesn't decriminalize. Proponents of the bill explicitly cited recent changes and court decisions legalizing gay marriage as a justification for decriminalizing polygamy between consenting adults. The real reason they've done it is because they're Mormons. Something to chew on.

 

[AnOminous]

I don't know if this counts as part of the slippery slope with regards to genderfluid bullshit, but Utah recently decriminalized polygamy.

Not to agree with slippery slopes in general, but Chief Justice Roberts said exactly this in his dissent in Obergefell v. Hodges and there was much tut-tutting about what a silly billy he was being. I'll note there's a fairly substantial difference between a state decriminalizing something and outright legalizing it, and for that matter, even between a state legalizing something and the Supreme Court outright declaring something to be a fundamental right.

Cross-post from the Kevin Gibes Thread: Vice wrote an article about the Troon Ranch:

The Alpaca Ranch That’s Creating a Rural Utopia for Trans People

Hidden away in the Colorado countryside, the Tenacious Unicorn Ranch is becoming a sanctuary for queer and trans people with nowhere else to go.


Queers Built This is our project about queer inventiveness and DIY culture then, now, and tomorrow.

One humid day in August of 2019, Bonnie Nelson loaded up a car and began a three day road trip. The destination: a small alpaca ranch in Colorado run entirely by trans people.

Nelson, who uses ey / em / eir pronouns, had recently quit eir day job as a home healthcare aid to elderly and disabled people in New York. Ey were now en route to begin a new life in the country along with eir partner, Sky, at the Tenacious Unicorn Ranch, a growing rural sanctuary that its residents sustain by selling alpaca wool on Etsy. The ranch is tiny, but it has an ambitious and important mission: to offer work, shelter, and community to queer and trans people in need.


Nelson had first heard of the Tenacious Unicorn Ranch only a month earlier, when ey found the collective posting cute photos of its alpaca herd on Twitter. Nelson had already been looking to move to Colorado, so ey contacted the ranch in mid-July and set up a video interview the following weekend. Less than a month later, Nelson was sharing meals with eir new family.

The collective prides itself on being self-sufficient. Its power system is 100 percent off-grid, utilizing solar and wind energy in addition to gas generators, and residents have built their own structures to house the ranch’s growing population—including a herd of nearly 100 alpacas. “They were doing basically everything that I’ve ever wanted to do,” Nelson told me of the decision to become part of the collective. “To be fair, it was a really easy choice to make.”


The Tenacious Unicorn Ranch’s founders say the idea for the utopian project started in the aftermath of the 2016 election, when many LGBTQ+ people across the U.S. were staring down the barrel of an authoritarian administration unambiguously hostile to queer and trans people. In the intervening years, the Trump administration has demonstrated this animus by rolling back LGBTQ+ rights across the board, most recently with an executive order that explicitly allows healthcare providers to deny medical care to queer and trans people purely based on their sexuality or gender. Now, with the COVID-19 pandemic causing unprecedented mass-death and economic devastation, the collective behind the Tenacious Unicorn Ranch sees their mission as more crucial than ever.

“I’m getting contacted by three new people every day that desperately need housing for a myriad of reasons, mostly pandemic-related,” Penellope Logue, the ranch’s co-founder, told me. “There’s been a huge loss of jobs, and the people getting those jobs back aren’t trans people. They’re just not choosing us.”


Growing up in rural Colorado under the care of her grandfather and his wife, Logue learned farming from an early age. Her grandfather was a programmer for IBM in Boulder, and on the weekends, the two would work on the farm together.

Logue tried to come out at age 14 or 15, but ultimately found the environment around LGBTQ rights to be too hostile. “There was no language around being trans at that time, in the 1980s,” she said. “Even just being gay was so bad, and so I got shoved back into the closet.”

Logue went on to spend six years in the military during the era of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, which she described as a “very toxic environment.” Then, after years of therapy, she came out as transgender at age 36. While her adoptive parents were supportive, the neighborhood where she lived in the suburbs of Denver was much less accepting. So she rented out the house, moved back in with her adoptive family just outside of Boulder, and made a living working in retail and selling scrap collected from dumpsters.

Years later, Logue finally saw an opportunity to realize her dream of having her own ranch. After selling her house, she and her partners, Kathryn and Jennifer, rented a plot of land up north and adopted a herd of alpacas, which she had taken a shine to while researching different types of fiber-bearing animals. In all, the group spent nearly $100,000 putting down fencing and fixing up the property.



In order to help with the costs, the group started selling their alpaca wool on Etsy—their first batch sold out completely—and created a Patreon profile that would allow others to offer them monthly donations. They also began accepting new like-minded residents. Still, the group was eventually priced out of living on the property due to rent hikes from the owner. When Bonnie Nelson and eir partner arrived, the group was searching for new land that they could actually purchase. Finally, on Christmas of 2019, the now eight-person collective put down a deposit on a plot on the other side of the state, about an hour and a half drive from the city of Pueblo, CO.

And so, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tenacious Unicorn Ranch began a move of biblical proportions—a journey that would require 19 separate trips across the state of Colorado.


Now, the collective is settling in and raising money via GoFundMe to build additional housing so that they can invite up to 20 new residents. (The ranch has a basic satellite internet connection, which Logue describes as “comparable to old dial-up speeds.”) The goal is to become a rural haven for queer and trans people—similar to the IDA community land project in Tennessee—and eventually, to help people in other states set up queer farming collectives of their own.

“We don’t wanna just expand housing, we wanna have jobs for people,” said Logue, noting that despite the recent Supreme Court victory barring explicit discrimination, trans folks are far less likely to be employed in the first place. According to a 2015 survey from the National Center for Transgender Equality, trans people are three times more likely to be unemployed compared to the general population, and four times more likely if they are trans people of color.

“Between coronavirus and the revolts against the state, we’ve really been looking at the state of the world and thinking we can’t just sit back and try to get to a stable point,” Nelson told me. “More than anything, it’s really lit a fire under our feet.”



The collective has found work in the area by connecting with the local Amish communities, and there’s plenty to do around the ranch. Logue and Nelson are heading the construction projects in preparation for two new people who will be joining the collective next month. The group also recently added ducks and sheep to their expanding livestock, creating additional sources of income. “It’s country girl shit,” laughed Logue, while describing the day-to-day experience of working on the ranch. “We drive big trucks, we all wear boots and we cuss a lot.”

For its residents, the allure of the Tenacious Unicorn Ranch is far greater than the aesthetics of the blue collar lifestyle. It’s about the freedom and joy of being queer and trans out in the country, and the opportunity to share that prosperity and sense of community with others.


“What we ultimately want to provide for people is peace of mind—you have a place to stay, you have food, and you’ll have something to do,” said Nelson. “I’ve never had that support network, that real understanding love from people. I can’t wait to spread that and have that be available to more people.”

A drag queen's story-telling event for children has been cancelled after "hateful" comments were posted online.

Sab Samuel, who performs as Aida H Dee, was set to read to children via Leeds Libraries' Facebook page on Monday.

But Leeds City Council said it stopped the Drag Queen Story Hour UK's virtual event because it "received a number of concerns".

The performer claims comments, which he described as a "massive toxic soup of hate", had forced the cancellation.

He said the remarks included "being labelled misogynistic and a paedophile, being told I should be crucified and how I was sexually objectifying children".

"When I saw the comments I was very shaken and upset. I started crying, I was deeply hurt by how strongly these comments were transphobic and homophobic.

"I feel upset for all the LGBT people in Leeds who could've seen all this and feel ashamed or upset that this has happened."

Mr Samuel said he felt unsafe after his personal details were shared and published online, prompting him to report the abuse to police.

He said he was only informed the event, which was due to run as part of Pride month, was being pulled the day before broadcast and he felt "absolutely let down" by the council.

Leeds City Council said: "As it was being hosted in a new, online format and because these concerns were expressed shortly before it was due to take place, the decision was made to cancel this event so the service has the opportunity to properly consider the concerns which have been raised.

"Our libraries remain fully committed to hosting a programme of diverse and inclusive events and we will continue to discuss how best to do this alongside our visitors, guests and communities."

Mr Samuel said he was willing to have an open discussion with the authority about "their handling of this situation" and address concerns.

'Hateful comments' cancel kids' drag reading event

The performer due to deliver the story-telling event describes an online "toxic soup of hate".

www.bbc.co.uk

 

[DumbDude42]

Most people who invoked this claimed people would be marrying animals next, not that kids would get sterilized.

furries exist so these claims weren't all wrong

 

[Thumb Butler]

That's the most British looking drag queen ever.

 

[Captain Fitzbattleaxe]

Canceling it was probably the stupidest thing they ever did (other than creating that event in the first place). Now they'll have to endure twice as many hate comments on their upcoming events, because they just proved that particular strategy works.

 

[Chilson]

Why are drag queens obsessed with telling stories to fucking children? Why, oh god why do you have to put children through this yammering nonsense?

 

[User names must be unique]

They should cancel dragqueen story time for racism anyway, every picture I've ever seen the audience is clearly too white and doesn't reflect modern diverse society.

Either start appealing to arabs and blacks or quit.

 

[Ascendancy0]

They called me the gamer word and said they'd fuck my mom so now I can't strip dance in front of children. My disappointment is immesurable and my day is ruined.

 

[Witthel]

I think it deserved far more than just "hate comments".

 

[Jimjamflimflam]

Good, it's fucking ministerial show making a gross caricature of womanhood.

Why are they so obsessed with children?

Adult can go if they want, that's fine
Just leave the damn kids alone

 

[Punished Benis]

"I feel upset for all the LGBT people in Leeds who could've seen all this and feel ashamed or upset that this has happened."

Not to sound like the Religious Right of old days, but how about you think of the children first, you absolute tard?

 

[TowinKarz]

"Hate Comments" - I.E. people calling the forced political sexualizing of their kids what it actually is.

I think it deserved far more than just "hate comments".

If the social engineers keep pushing, they'll find hate comments are nothing compared to hate bullets.

 

[TFT-A9]

And everything went better than expected.
